Israel Tells UN: "Abbas' Culture of Hate Is the Obstacle to Peace"


(Algemeiner) Addressing the UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East on Thursday, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon presented an official Palestinian Authority textbook that PA President Mahmoud Abbas had authorized for the current school year. "This textbook lists a number of so-called heroes - like Dalal Mughrabi - the terrorist responsible for a massacre that killed 38 people. This is Abbas' culture of hate - right in front of you. This is the reason Palestinian schoolchildren learn that it is better to kill a Jew than keep a job." Abbas "preaches tolerance in English and terror in Arabic....He has led his people down a path of self-destruction and misery, stealing their chance at a good life. He is the obstacle to peace. If you hope to see a better future between Israelis and Palestinians, you will join us in indicting Abbas." "In this year's budget, Abbas has allocated $355 million toward the pay-to-slay policy [paying salaries to terrorists and their families]. That's 7% of the total PA budget. Nearly half of every dollar [the international community] gives to the Palestinian people to build roads and schools is put in the pocket of those who murder Jews."
